Heartache

This Friday marks three weeks of doctor ordered "no running." I rode my bike on Monday and had a lot of pain. I feel like such a whiner going on about it here, but....I am just so disappointed that things are not healed.
I see the doctor again next Friday. We are going to reevaluate and see what my next steps should be. I'm hoping my next steps will include running.... I miss it endlessly. Its like a long lost lover. I see people running in this beautiful weather and it tears at my heart like a raw ache that I cannot shake. Something that once brought me so much joy, peace, and escape now makes my want to swerve my car to hit those who are enjoying it. Clearly I need therapy running.
Not for lack of trying. I have walked. I have ran in the pool. I even enjoyed a beautiful hike with my mom last weekend. It really was great-- we saw desert big horn sheep and petroglyphs. The dogs had a blast too. I feel really blessed that mom and I were able to share that time together.

How cool is this bridge?
In other news, my horses now live super super close and I am able to ride there. The cutest old man owns the place. I went out there Monday and he had raked the riding area for me. Awwwww.... :)
My horse was being a total pain, but it was still nice to get out and ride.
Ty purchased his golf membership last week. So I probably won't see him much till November or so.  Speaking of which, we played nine holes on Friday. It felt great! I'm considering some lessons this Spring so that I can keep up with my stud-muffin golf-pro-like hubs.
